When George Collins, a past candidate for Santa Ana Mayor, showed up at a Republican Party of Orange County event in Yorba Linda, his aim was to film the comments made by the speakers, and then put them up on his YouTube page. He surely had no idea what was going to happen after he put up the video, which shows Villa Park Council Member Deborah Pauly making very harsh statements about Orange County’s Muslim community.
What set Pauly off was the actions of the Muslim Student Union at the University of California at Irvine (UCI). Eleven Muslim students were arrested during Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren’s speech on campus in February. Those 11 students stood up one at a time and yelled during Oren’s presentation and were subsequently detained, according to the O.C. Register.
Here is a video of the Muslim students’ protest:
Who is this guy Michael Oren?
Here are excerpts from his bio.:
Michael B. Oren is the State of Israel’s Ambassador to the United States.
A graduate of Princeton and Columbia, Dr. Oren has received fellowships from the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, and from the British and Canadian governments. Formerly, he was the Lady Davis Fellow of Hebrew University, a Moshe Dayan Fellow at Tel-Aviv University, and the Distinguished Fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem. He has been a visiting professor at Harvard, Yale, and Georgetown.
Ambassador Oren has written extensively for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The New Republic, where he was a contributing editor. His two most recent books, Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East and Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East, 1776 to the Present, were both New York Times bestsellers. They won the Los Angeles Times’ History Book of the Year prize, a National Council of the Humanities Award, and the National Jewish Book Award.
Raised in New Jersey, where he was an activist in Zionist youth movements and a gold medal winning athlete in the Maccabia Games, Ambassador Oren moved to Israel in the 1970s. He served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, in the paratroopers in the Lebanon War, a liaison with the U.S. Sixth Fleet during the Gulf War, and an IDF spokesman during the Second Lebanon War and the Gaza operation in January 2009. He acted as an Israeli Emissary to Jewish refuseniks in the Soviet Union, as an advisor to Israel’s delegation to the United Nations, and as the government’s director of Inter-Religious Affairs. He has testified before Congress and briefed the White House on Middle Eastern affairs.
Interesting. This guy Oren is no common diplomat. He has a lot of Arab blood on his hands. Now you could argue how that came to be, but the fact is I can understand why Muslim students might not be happy to welcome this man to their campus.
These Muslim students aren’t monsters, I don’t think. They are brave individuals who risked everything for what they thought waas right.
But Pauly thinks they are “unwelcome invaders.” Click here to see the video of her disturbing comments. I would normally embed the video here, but Collins disabled that feature on his YouTube page. He was upset because a Muslim organization used excerpts of his video in their own YouTube video, which was taken down when Collins claimed he had a copyright to the original video.
Collins, like Pauly, is a Republican. She is also a member of the OC GOP’s Executive Committee.
Seems like you have already chosen your side and position, Art. There is extreme passion on both sides and I hope you know what you are getting into. Check out the CAIR videos on YouTube and you will see their intentions are not honorable or innocent. They appear to be looking for a fight and will provoke one to further their agenda. They are looking for any sympathy they can muster. I’m not buying into it.
I think this could all have been avoided by not inviting Oren to speak at UCI.
Art is not KKK. He did not have to struggle too hard with this one. These fools have no life, no purpose, only their fake patriotism and their hate, hate, hate. They hate themselves and everyone else, especially the easy target Muslims, because of 911. They should know that every darn American Flag that they need to dress their fake ass patriotism in is probably made in a Chinese or Mexican Sweat shop. They better hurry over there to protest a bunch of fake loser outrage. Losers! Dangerous losers! Just like Al Queda. I am not a loser if I do not know how to spell Al Queda. American fake patriot extremists and Muslim extremists are the same. They should continue to blow each other up! Peace out.
The original video has gone viral. Old George cannot stuff that genie back in the bottle. One place you can see it is here:

So that’s Deborah Pauly’s latest story now, eh, to explain why she wished death on the assembled Muslims and called them “pure evil” – she was traumatized by what the Irvine Eleven did THIRTEEN MONTHS AGO. (Art, that was Feb. 2010! She is certainly flailing about. Rocky start as the OC GOP’s new vice-chair by the way!
Socialism is interesting illness!
If I would criticize Oren in conjunction with his Jewishness and blod on his hands, I would be labeled buy Vern Nelson as racist.
Now his socialistic agenda dictates to him to favor Arabs against Jews because he sees some legitimate social struggle on Arab’s side.
In fact, and always the socialists are wrong.
So expect soon in front of Santa Ana’s Courthouse public mutilations in full compliance with the Sharia law.
On the bright side same as Jews, Arabs and Latinos the socialists too will always lose and that is natures balance.
You’re pretty confused as always, brother Stan. If you criticized Oren for his Jewishness, or these Muslims in Yorba Linda for their religion or ethnicity, I’d say the same thing.
The Irvine Eleven weren’t criticizing Oren for his Jewishness, they were doing what they could to protest the slaughter and ongoing starvation that Oren’s nation has inflicted and continues to inflict on the people of Gaza (also not mentioned in this post.)
The Yorba Linda protestors, who are as confused as Stanislav, justified their rage by worry about Shar’ia Law, and some past statements by one or two of the speakers who were gonna be at the event. But the simple-minded rubes, incited by indiscriminate hate speech like Deborah Pauly’s, converted it all to generalized anti-Muslim malevolence which they spewed on the innocent attendees.
As I recall Helen Thomas did same as you do and got kicked out from the White House by your black friend socialist/communist BO.
Simply put, you socialists have no respect for other peoples opinions only for your own.
Bad Jews. Bad Christians. Bad Muslims. Bad politicians. Helen Thomas probably should have warned those folks a bit before spouting off. The Absolute worst is all of the damn born again christians that act like they love the Jews because the want to defend Jerusalem against the Muslims ( Huckabee Dweeb! ) Get a life. Loose your Religion! All Religious people seek superficial superiority and morality.
Republicans always create fake religious and patriotic outrage to cover the fact that they actualy dont give a crap about people or the future of the country. Socialists and Commies have their own Sickness. Create your own Party!
